Under Clark's strict requirements, his soldiers carried out a second attack. Ke Laike still organized 10,000 people for this attack. He also dispatched a supervisory team of 500 people. If there was a failure and escaped, he was responsible for killing them. Of course, these supervisory team members were all his own soldiers.
So under the threat of the bayonets of the soldiers of the supervisory team, the Austrian army launched an attack on the French army again. First of all, the cannons of the French army began to speak. Amidst the rumbling of the cannons, Austrian soldiers were constantly bombarded with flesh and blood. But the blood of their companions seems to have aroused their fierceness even more, or it may be because there is a supervisory team behind them and French bullets in front. The front and back are dead, and there may not be a chance of survival if you charge forward, so when they are approaching the range of the French rifles, the Austrian soldiers don't care about the formation anymore, holding bayonets, desperately towards the French army. rushed to the position.
Crack was so angry that he yelled at the back: "You stupid pigs, you have completely forgotten the infantry drills, don't you know how to maintain an offensive match?" But then he shut up and didn't scold, because he It was found that such a chaotic charge seemed to have a better effect than the first charge just now.
Faced with the chaotic stormtroopers of the Austrian army, the French army did not know what to do. The effect of their shooting is obviously much smaller than the first time. Looking at the Austrian soldiers rushing like wild beasts, many timid French soldiers couldn't even hold their guns.
At this time, General Munk ordered decisively: "All fire freely, no longer divided into the first row or the second row." So the gunshots on the French army's position also rang out in disorder. Austrian soldiers were constantly being hit, and the bullets bloomed red and coquettish flowers on their bodies. But at the same time, more Austrian troops failed to cross the corpses of their comrades and continued to attack.
After reaching the range of the Austrian rifles, many Austrian soldiers stopped and raised their guns to shoot at the French army, because the French army has been shooting continuously, and they have not let go of a single shot. But their shooting speed is really too slow, they often only have one chance to shoot, and when they change the bullets, the bullets fly from nowhere and end their lives. After paying the price of blood, the Austrian soldiers finally realized that shooting at the French soldiers was courting death because of the weapons. No one would do such stupid things anymore, but when they understood this truth, They have paid no less than four thousand lives since the attack.
Now the Austrian army has returned to the era of cold weapons, and the guns in their hands seem to have become fire sticks, if there is no bayonet in front. After paying a huge price, the Austrian army finally rushed in front of the French army. "All bayonets!" The officers of the French army passed on Lieutenant General Munk's order.
The soldiers on both sides collided violently, using bayonets to kill all weapons that could attack each other. However, since the Austrian army was already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers at this time, and had run so far and consumed a lot of physical strength, they gradually fell into a disadvantage in hand-to-hand combat with the French army. He was slowly driven out of the position by the French army.
Seeing this situation, Clark quickly ordered the remaining reserve team of more than 7,000 people in his hands to attack. After they rushed to the battlefield, the Austrian army slowly moved back to the disadvantage. The French army fell into a bitter battle, had to trade space for time, slowly withdrew from the position, and began to compete with the Austrian army for the control of every street, every house, every ruin, and even every tree in the town. right. But the Austrian army outnumbered them by half, so soon the streets or houses controlled by the army were lost.
When the situation was at its most dangerous, the French army was about to be driven out of the town. General Munk had already prepared for the worst. If they couldn't hold on, they had no choice but to retreat. Just when he was about to make a decision, there was a roar like thunder from a distance. But slowly, the sound became more and more advanced.
On the other hand, the Austrian army, affected by this, had their high morale slumped at once. After being violently attacked by French soldiers, they no longer cared about the supervising team. As soon as he opened his feet, he ran back desperately.
But how can a person run on two legs better than four? Under the violent impact of the French cavalry, all resistance seemed so feeble. In the end, most Austrian soldiers chose to surrender wisely, as the saying goes: It is better to die than to live.
Finally, on the afternoon of October 10, only Clark and his miserable army of less than a thousand people fled back to Ulm. In order to shirk his responsibility, Clark reported that he had been ambushed by heavy French troops. There were at least tens of thousands of French troops ambushing him, and there were tens of thousands of cavalry. That's why he suffered such heavy losses.
But Ferdinand didn't listen to his explanation at all, and he was arrested directly, and he was going to be sent to a military court after the war. But at the same time, he also realized that although there were not as many French troops appearing between Ulm and Augsburg as Clark said, UU Reading www. uukanshu.com But the strength is also very strong. So he knew that the road to Munich was closed to them, and that staying here would only kill him.
He immediately ordered Admiral Mike to withdraw from the battle, join him, and prepare to break out and go to Munich. But the best time for them has been lost. As early as the morning, the five legions of the French army launched a fierce attack on General Mike's troops, but now they cannot withdraw even if they want to. Lie's Sixth Army, under the guidance of some soldiers of the Guards, also captured Heidenheim at 10 am, and is now speeding up towards Ulm.
Ferdinand regretted it very much now. If he had retreated two days earlier, regardless of his so-called honor, they might have been in Munich by now, and the 100,000 troops in Munich might not be without the strength to fight the French army. But it's too late to say anything now, his old partner has been completely surrounded in Stuttgart, and he can't get out again. Even if he led the army to rescue it, it would have no effect at all, it could only increase the record of the French army.
So Ferdinand said sorry to his old partner in his heart, and led his last dead army to start the escape. Their speed was very fast, and he knew that if they were entangled by the Sixth Army of the French Army, they would never be able to escape again.
Finally, Ferdinand led his army all the way south, through Memmingen, then through Mindelheim, turned a big circle, and finally fled back to Munich.
For the French army this time, although they eliminated and surrounded more than 100,000 Austrian troops, they were still slipped away by Ferdinand, which made the originally perfect encirclement plan not so perfect.
